One degree removed from
One degree removed from human
Ire
Triggered by the smallest exchange
No eyes connect
New enemy, yet nameless
No face
Player-less character to hate
Spit venom
The words meant to cut
Unworthy of compassion
No voice to hear
Hidden by screens and windshields
Disposable souls stand by
An easy out for the agitated
Never expecting their gazes could align
Signals
Phonical and optic
Filtered
All that's left are toxins
Ire
Courageous out of sight
Holocenic shrouds
Day to day life promotes venom
The words meant to cut
Unworthy of compassion
No voice to hear
Cut
Signals
Phonical and optic
Hidden by screens and windshields
Disposable souls stand by
An easy out for the agitated
Never expecting their gazes to align
Hidden by screens and windshields
Empty mortal shells stand by
Insufferable in imaginations of those blind
To their imprints left on lives
Some pure aura turns diluted
Outside of life in the flesh
Warmth as voices speak and irises meet
Some magic turns diluted
Outside of our life in the flesh
Empathy hides in our cold disconnect
One degree removed from
One degree removed from human
One degree removed from spirits merciful
One degree removed from signals from a messenger unknown
Just one degree removed from spirits merciful
One degree removed from signals from a messenger unknown
And one degree removed from acknowledging souls
